If you are taking any of these
medicines, you should not take other drugs containing aspirin.
Take
Care When Taking Medicine!
Know
what’s in the medicines you’re taking. Taking too many products that
contain aspirin could result in overdose.
Aspirin can
also interfere
with a number of common OTC and prescription drugs.
As the label on OTC aspirin products states: “Ask a doctor or
pharmacist before use if you are taking a prescription drug for:
anticoagulation (blood thinning), gout, diabetes or arthritis.”
